    Campfire Audio - Introducing 2 new models Hello Andromeda and Nova

    My personal favorite with dx200 is amp8 with ref8 balanced cables, 4.4 balanced output of amp8. I've heard amp9 is very analytical, that's why I'm using amp8 (and because it's balanced). I've tried amp3, amp7 and amp8 and I like the latter out of three. Digital filter also does affect the sound...

    Campfire Audio - Introducing 2 new models Hello Andromeda and Nova

    Will you share your impressions of cable pairings? I'm noticing a big difference between stock smoke cables vs ref8 bal cable.

    Campfire Audio - Introducing 2 new models Hello Andromeda and Nova

    I am noticing GEs love ref8 cable. The stock cable sounded kind of closed and ref8 gave them the detail I know Andromeda’s for and plus the bass now. Sub response is pretty impressive but not at Atlas level however it will rumble when called for. GE is incredibly sensitive to source, cable, tips...

    Campfire Audio - Introducing 2 new models Hello Andromeda and Nova

    We don't know who did unfortunately. The police doesn't do anything if they have no suspect, which's the case here. I'm super upset but what can be done... Luckily I've received AGs today to replace the stolen original Andromedas.

    Someone must've been eyeing them at work. They've been stolen from my work desk. Still mourning... =(

    Campfire Audio - Introducing 2 new models Hello Andromeda and Nova

    I've just placed an order for GE and will arrive on Monday. I've got pure silver and bal ref8 cables so I may try them instead of cheapo smoky litz cable. I'm interested if this'd make any difference. I've had Atlas and OG Andromeda but they've been stolen lately... I still may order Atlas as I...

    NEW - Campfire Comet and Atlas

    When I held Atlas the first time, I took a very long look and smiled ear to ear :) None of the earphones I’ve had gave me this effect. It is really beautiful and made of very high quality materials. SQ, if you like Vega, this is no brainer. If you are new to the brand, it beats off many other...

    DX200=Affordable High End Audio. Dual ES9028Pro dacs. AMP1, AMP3, AMP5, AMP7 & AMP8 ***Firmware support now up for AMP9***

    I’m glad to hear another batch of 4 will be coming to meet the demand. Detailing works wonders in amp 4.This is definitely what I would have expected. This kind of business practice establishes trust and long term loyalty for the brand. I’m more likely to continue shopping/supporting iBasso for...

    DX200=Affordable High End Audio. Dual ES9028Pro dacs. AMP1, AMP3, AMP5, AMP7 & AMP8 ***Firmware support now up for AMP9***

    It is insensitive to heavily market it here without telling about limited stock in advance (not talking about 250 4S orders). When audio gear tries to become Supreme, no one will be satisfied. This is not wear-tear item. These gears accompany great setups for years to come. That’s why there is...

    DX200=Affordable High End Audio. Dual ES9028Pro dacs. AMP1, AMP3, AMP5, AMP7 & AMP8 ***Firmware support now up for AMP9***

    Will iBasso actually respond to AMP4 requests? AMP3 and AMP5 are still available. When is new stock coming?

    What to do if a driver goes out on Westone W60s?

    Try different songs as well. High quality iems may pan vocals towards left and instruments towards right depending on the recording. Make sure that's not what's happening here. You should be able to find other songs that comes from the center or similarly right. Most old records and some newer...

    NEW - Campfire Comet and Atlas

    I've been a big fan of CFA. I've just received my Atlas. I also have Vega and Andromeda. I must preface that Campfire Audio is real delight to deal with and they take great pride in their products. Their professionalism completes their top-notch iems. For all CFA iems, sourcing them with DX200...

    Campfire Audio Vega (and Dorado and Lyra II) - Head-Fi TV

    I A-B'd same tracks between Andromeda and Vega. Vega definitely pans right, off center in high frequencies. Low frequencies balanced. I asked Campfire to replace them. I'm still within 14 days. I hope they will help me :/ if it wasn't Andromeda, I wouldn't have noticed this. I actually first...

    Campfire Audio Vega (and Dorado and Lyra II) - Head-Fi TV

    I did this one. I've tried sweep (driver matching). Sound comes centered but at higher frequencies, especially 10khz last part is panning right? Maybe it's all in my head.

    Campfire Audio Vega (and Dorado and Lyra II) - Head-Fi TV

    If I do the above test with Andromeda, left bud sounds brighter. So it is opposite of Vega:/ I am using the same output and litz cables on both. holding both channels same level and direction.

    Campfire Audio Vega (and Dorado and Lyra II) - Head-Fi TV

    I am not sure if my Vega is working fine. I was running audio tests through it. Can someone please confirm track "1000 Hz" by Qitup on Spotify with their Vega? I took off both tips and holding both buds in one hand played track in loop. Closed each bud one at a time with my thumb. Right bud...

    Campfire Audio Vega (and Dorado and Lyra II) - Head-Fi TV

    What song is sibilant to you? I may give it a try. It may be an issue of source, dac, amp, resolution, etc. I had sibilance with iPhones but with proper dap, no issues.

    Campfire Audio Vega (and Dorado and Lyra II) - Head-Fi TV

    One thing I would recommend is tip rolling. These sound different with different tips. Foams give good bass but soundstage and placement is compromised. The best experience I had was with standard silicones and spinfits.

    Campfire Audio Vega (and Dorado and Lyra II) - Head-Fi TV

    I have decided I needed Andromeda with Vega in my collection. Vega does fun signature just so good, it only left me wondering how details would be like with Andromedas. I have heard soundstage and separation is another level; not that Vega's are bad at these, quite good actually but Vega is...

    Campfire Audio Vega (and Dorado and Lyra II) - Head-Fi TV

    I believe I've finally found the golden ratio. Source: iBasso DX 200 Phones: Vega's black silicone tips (foams tips lose some headspace) DAC: Gumby AMP: Mjolnir2 Sound is amazing. Treble, high frequencies, so much micro detail I get lost in some songs. Percussions, bells, etc. sound amazing...

    Schiit Mjolnir 2 Listening Impressions

    Thanks! I eventually figured it out and ordered one already. Trrs to xlr male plug. I already listened to it using 3.5mm to 1/4 plug in low gain. Mjolnir 2 coupled with gumby using xlr balanced connection. I thought I was getting good output with the adapter than I started wiggling with the...
